Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical option for complex gallbladder cases. This approach can help patients avoid open surgery, reducing hospital stays and recovery times.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Gallbladder disease management often involves cholecystectomy.
  • Complex cases may necessitate conversion to open surgery.
  • Subtotal cholecystectomy offers an alternative in challenging anatomies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy.
  • To assess its utility in patients with severe inflammation, cirrhosis, or Mirizzi syndrome.
  • To determine its potential to avoid conversion to open procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 5 patients undergoing laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy over 28 months.
  • Indications included severe inflammation/fibrosis, cirrhosis with portal hypertension, and Mirizzi syndrome.

  • Data collected on operative outcomes and patient morbidity.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy in all 5 patients.
    • No operative deaths occurred.
    • Only minor in-hospital morbidity was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe procedure in selected patients.
    • It provides a viable alternative to open surgery for complex gallbladder pathology.
    • This technique can help avoid conversion, improving patient outcomes.
